LOCALLA

Situated in the highly sought-after Brookside/Hancock Park neighborhood, this distinguished residence embodies timeless elegance enhanced by thoughtful modern updates. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath main home, complemented by a beautifully appointed rear guest house, immediately impresses with its exceptional craftsmanship and architectural detail. Rich hardwood floors, crown molding, coved ceilings, graceful curved entryways, custom window treatments, and designer paint finishes by Farrow & Ball and Donald Kaufman create a refined and cohesive aesthetic throughout. The intelligently conceived floor plan offers a seamless balance of formal entertaining and comfortable daily living, with private bedroom quarters thoughtfully separated from the principal living areas. A welcoming foyer opens to an expansive living and dining room, anchored by a bespoke marble-topped buffet and alabaster wall sconces, an elegant setting for gatherings both casual and formal. Original double-glass swing doors lead to the heart of the home: a generous chef's kitchen featuring a substantial center island with seating, abundant counter and pantry space, a dedicated hutch, classic two-tone Shaker cabinetry crowned with marble countertops, and a suite of premium stainless-steel appliances, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher.

The spa-inspired bath features a separate soaking tub, an oversized shower, and an expansive vanity with generous storage. Sliding glass doors connect the suite directly to the newly landscaped grounds, framed by mature hedges, curated garden beds, and a variety of fruit trees lemon, apple, orange, and lime creating an inviting environment for both relaxation and cultivation. Raised planters provide ideal space for vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Outdoor living is further enhanced by a wood deck with pergola off the family room and a firepit lounge near the guest house, providing multiple seating vignettes perfect for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. The detached, newly renovated guest house offers exceptional versatility, featuring new hardwood flooring, a refined three-quarter bath with an oversized Zellige tile shower, integrated Murphy bed within custom cabinetry, updated heating and air conditioning wall unit, refrigerator/freezer, dining area, and a dedicated office nook, ideal for guests, a creative studio, or private workspace.
